Genshin Impact is launching the physical version of the TCG cards from their game mode. They’ll be available for pre-sale only in China.

The Genius Invokation trading card game (TCG) from Genshin Impact was introduced in version 3.3, allowing players to invite non-player characters (NPCs) and other characters to play against. Now, the cards you see in the game will be available to buy and collect. New collectible card boxes were shown to fans on Chinese social media platforms Bilibili and Weibo.

The pre-sale of the physical cards will start on Nov. 8 in China. There's still no information about a global release, but we hope that will be revealed soon.

The starter deck containing 40 cards will cost 40 yuan (around $6). Meanwhile, the booster pack with 108 cards will cost 180 yuan (around $25). As for the most expensive one, you'll find 18 packs per box with six cards per pack. You'll also be able to collect character, action, and accessory cards.

Genshin FES 2024

The Genshin FES 2024 event, which happened in Shanghai in July, showed many physical cards of the TCG game mode in celebration of the Natlan region's launch. These were shared by some content creators such as tuonto. He shared some promotional images showing Lisa, Xiangling, and other support cards. There were also some dice used in the TCG, but there's no information about them being collectible yet.

The Genshin Impact TCG product was confirmed by Shining Soul on their bilibili official page. There are special editions in the TCG game mode, but the launch will probably feature only normal cards. In the image shared by Shining Soul, we can see many decks personalized with characters and their elements such as Diluc, Keqing, Ganyu, Ayaka, Collei, Noelle, Chongyun, and Xiangling.
